SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OJ
MONICA AUTHORI:1
REFUSE RATE ST
~ OF SANTA
SOLID WASTE
The Solid Waste It
s cities to
divert 25% of their 199~ ear 1995, and
by 50% by the year 2000. cities -~ terms of the
Solid Waste Management Act of 1989 can be fined up to $10,000.00
per day. The city has been engaged in efforts to meet that goal.
In January, 1994, the City took another significant step towards
reaching the state mandated goals by enacting a permitting process
for solid waste enterprises.
The accompanying ordinance is a continuation of the city's
efforts to divert recyclable materials out of the solid waste
stream. This ordinance will authorize the imposition of a fee to
provide part of the funding necessary for the centralized
collection and management of recyclable materials from commercial
and industrial businesses.
Though the burden of diverting
recyclable materials from the commercial and industrial sectors
could be placed on solid waste enterprises, staff believes that a
. JUN , 8 199't
centralized collection of recyclable materials from the ~ndustr~ar
80
and commercial sectors will be more effective.
If a fee is
assessed to cover the some of the cost of managing the collection
of recyclable materials, solid waste enterprises will not be
required to establish separate programs. The ordinance provides
that the fee shall be set by Resolution of the City Council.
This ordinance also authorizes the imposition of a
capacity/frequency refuse rate structure. While this is not the
approach currently contemplated by the City, it remains an option
should the City need additional measures to ensure that the City
meets the state mandated diversion of solid waste. To implement
this option, staff will have to return to the City Council with a
resolution setting forth the requirements.
It is anticipated that staff will return to the City Council
with a resolution for adoption of the specific solid waste fee in
July, 1994.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the accompanying
ordinance be adopted.
